Its a warning showing the airbags are at risk of deploying.
The light is on because the computer has detected a malfunction.
It's not necessary to call paramedics unless someone is injured. Airbag deployment should not be a measure of when to call ems.
$2000 per airbag
No, vehicles should be able to start after a airbag is deployed. The accident itself could have made the vehicle unstartable.

An airbag travels 200 miles per hour when it is deployed. The process of an accident being sensed and the airbag being deployed takes one twenty fifth of a second.
my airbags have been deployed and my seat belts are locked.What should I do
An airbag is deployed to help protect you from serious injury. The rate at which an airbag deploys will depend on where the vehicle is hit. Often, an airbag deploys when the vehicle is going 15 mph.
The best choice is to REPLACE the airbags!The SRS airbag is a safety device which can save your life in case of an accident!
Yes, no and maybe. First, lets cover the "No." Once your car airbags deploy the aluminum cylinder releases all the gas, the airbag cover breaks open and the bag is inflated. Unless, you recycle aluminum, plastic or cloth the airbag can be safely discarded once it has deployed. So in this case the airbag is not reusable.The reason for the "Maybe" is that even though none deployed car airbags can be recycled and reused as an affordable option for rebuilding older vehicles, not all recycled airbags are created equal. If the recyclers do not take the time to check the airbags for water and fire damage, introducing these airbags back into a car can be a potential hazard. Therefore, even though the airbags have never deployed these airbags should not be introduced into rebuilt vehicles.Finally the "Yes" option. If the none deployed or recycled car airbag is properly removed, categorized and inspected they are definitely reusable and I would consider it a perfect example of a green alternative solution. Keep in mind that airbags are sealed units and as long as the connectors, cables and covers are clean and handled properly. Recycled or used car airbags are a viable option for rebuilding older vehicles and should be considered as safe and reusable.
Replacing the seatbelts involves removing several interior trim panels, unfortunately almost all of them, starting from the front. If the seatbelt will no longer retract, it is non-functioning and needs replacement. Seat belts should ALWAYS be replaced after an accident involving airbag deployment. The airbag light is telling you the dealer or a qualified mechanic needs to do some slightly dangerous work replacing the airbags and the airbag controller.
To reset the airbag warning light on a Volvo V40, you must take the vehicle to the dealer. The dealer will check the airbags and turn off the light using a specific tool.
It means the small computer that runs the airbag system has detected a problem with the airbag sensors and firing circuits. So your airbags will not work in an accident. Get it checked.
